    Directions To Make Treats:

    1. In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the red and white candy melts according to the product package instructions. (The amount you need to melt will vary depending upon how many cookies you want to make, but half of each package is enough to make approximately one dozen cookies.)
    2. Dip the top of each Oreo into the red candy coating. Place on wax paper to cool until coating is set. (To speed hardening, place in the refrigerator until firm, about 10 minutes.)
    3. When the red coating is set, dip the lower half of each cookie into the white candy coating. Place the cookies onto wax paper, but do not allow the white coating to set. Apply a border of white frosting over the edge where the red candy coating and the cookie meet, dabbing the icing to mimic the look of the fur lining of Santa’s hat. While the white candy coating is still wet, affix an M&M nose onto the top center edge of the dipped white section. Create two eyes with the black gel and affix a marshmallow on one side of the frosting border to form a pom-pom for Santa’s hat.

    Directions To Make Treats:

    1. Place the apple rings between paper towels 10 minutes before starting to remove the extra moisture.
    2. Melt the chocolate according to the package directions.
    3. Use a fork to lower one apple ring at a time into the bowl of melted chocolate. Lift out and tap the fork on the side of the bowl gently to remove excess chocolate.
    4. Place the apple ring on parchment paper. Immediately press an Oreo cookie on the bottom half of the ring. Add the sprinkles right away. Let set. Repeat with the remaining apple rings.
    5. Use a toothpick to add a little bit of chocolate to the back of the eyes and place on the cookie. Do the same with the candy corn.
    6. Squeeze a little bit of red frosting around the candy corn to create the wattle.
